Lolling hard at the BW guys saying things like 'SC2 should go, not BW', BW is going because it is ancient (and I mean goddamn ancient!), it may be a good game, but at the end of the day, technology and the advancement of technology controls everything in cyber space, SC2 is a technologically superior game to BW, and there is no arguing against it. When the organisation backing it decides it's time to pack it up, that's probably going to be that.

#1 esport in terms of competition maybe, but I think in terms of viewers it's going to be LoL or some random Korean game.

I don't want to lose BW and I don't want to have a sc2 mixed with BW I want there to still be a BW Proleague, I don't see why they can't have both D;

I guess there just isn't enough money to have both running at the same time or something really sad that they are cutting PL.

SC2 PL is fine, but not at the expense of BW. I'd rather keep the two separate than kill off BW in favor of SC2.

They should only pull the plug on BW when its interest and profits are convincingly gone. I don't see that happening for a while. The thing is though, the rest of the world has moved on to SC2 pretty much and if you want to make connections and make it global, you have to move on in terms of games. But happy to see proleague have sc2.

I think SC2 should only take over when it's at a better stage in the metagame, BW is just too good to watch compared to SC2

Apparently it's already happening as KeSPA and OGN are pulling the plug

Sadly good for the game =/= good for the business in this matter.

Except the skill level to play the newer games like sc2, easier dumb down version of BW, but that what the advancement of technology will do make things easier.

i have never played brood war b4 only sc2 and just after watching some brood war a few times on stream im not going to be happy to see it go its very very exciting to watch. on another note it would be more ideal if they switched when HOTS came out switching from BW to Sc2 right now would be pointless while its true no1 has reached the skill cap in sc2 it will be met sooner by BW players and with the new units being introduced in HOTS it seems like the skill ceiling will be quite a bit higher.

I find it funny that Blizzard found dealing with KeSPA too frustrating/difficult so they pawned off the negotiations to GOM by giving exclusive rights to SC2 and now GOM is returning the favor.

Yes, that's why nostalgia exists.

And? are you a BW pro? if not then why would you care if sc2 is a little easier.

Obviously not easy enough for you to play professional sc2 so dont complain about how easy it is?

Blizzard needs to man up and support the scene more. RIOT has been 110% behind the lol scene so they have grown so large in such a short period of time.
